Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The prevalence of nitrous oxide use in hospitals in Turkey

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Nitrous oxide has a long history of use in the healthcare field for over 150 years. However, this gas is slowly being abandoned for various reasons. The decrease in N2O use is probably due to its side effects and negative impact on global warming. Proven side effects include irreversible toxic effects on bone marrow, relative or absolute contraindications related to neuro and cardiac anesthesia, increased incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting, increased risk of miscarriage in pregnant women (5), the greenhouse effect of nitrous oxide. In 2013, B. Husum et al. investigated the frequency of N2O use in public hospitals in Scandinavian countries and it was confirmed that N2O use was reduced and limited. According to the results of this research, N2O was administered with a volatile anesthetic agent in 21.5% of general anesthesia applications in Scandinavian countries. N2O was used as the second agent in Denmark by 2.4%, Finland by 17%, Iceland by 34.5, Norway by 32.1%, Sweden by 27.5%. In Turkey there are not enough reports of N2O use prevalence. In this study, we will investigate the extent of use and avoidance reasons N2O in Turkey. And we aim creating awareness.
